Me too, except it's my left palm that goes numb anywhere except ramps and hoods, though I can go further in the hooks without the numbness than I can using non-drop bars.
But, that said, I do want eventually to try Albatrosses or somesuch with a more upright position, on a frame with a sufficiently slack seat tube angle. I don't see myself needing Albastaches or Bullmooses, since the virtue of these is that they also allow a forward position, right? And for that I use drops. I use the original Moustache bar on my Hon Solo, because it allows more compact folding than a drop bar, but I can't ride it for more than 12 miles or so at a stretch without enough discomfort to make riding an annoyance rather than a pleasure. Still it's a heck of a lot better than flipped and trimmed North Road bars! On Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 9:19 AM, Brian Campbell <bdcampbel...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't like upright bars.
